Command-line configuration enables you to change all SNAP-IX configuration parameters. You can use it to configure any of the resources that are available through the Motif administration program, and can set or change configuration parameters that are not exposed in the Motif program. However, this administration method typically requires that you supply more information than is required for Motif administration. In addition, you must make sure that the information you provide is valid and consistent with existing resource definitions. (The Motif administration program is recommended because it ensures the data you enter is consistent. In addition, it can infer many configuration values based on menu and dialog choices, and fill in values based on available definitions.)
Most administration commands are used with the snaadmin command-line administration program. You can issue snaadmin commands in the following form:
snaadmin command, parameter1=value1, parameter2=value2, .... {subrecord_name1}, sub_param1=sub_value1, sub_param2=sub_value2 ...
You can get help for snaadmin command-line administration by using any of the following commands:
snaadmin -h provides basic help for command-line administration and usage information for command-line help.
snaadmin -h -d provides a list of commands that can be supplied to the snaadmin program.
snaadmin -h command provides help for the named command.
snaadmin -h -d command provides detailed help for the named command, including a list of the configuration parameters that can be specified with the command.
Some commands can be issued from SNAP-IX Solaris clients, provided the command includes the option to specify a server name. Such a command has the same effect as if it were issued at the named server.
The remainder of this section summarizes administration commands for different types of resources. Some of the types of commands listed are as follows:
Provides summary information for types of resources.
Creates a new define_* record in the configuration file, or replaces an existing record for the same resource with the new definition.
Removes the corresponding define_* record from the file.
Returns information from the configuration file on the appropriate component, but does not modify the file.
For complete information about command-line configuration, refer to SNAP-IX Administration Command Reference.
